Well, awk having a csv parser via the user implementing that parser is not quite what I have in mind when I turn to awk for some quick field splitting—and I don't think it's what others in the thread meant either, as evidenced by

To my knowledge, Iranian government doesn't have power to dictate FB's actions outside Iran. So FB could block by the IPs, but blocking everywhere by the nationality makes no sense (at least by the standards of a normal person).

Yep, pretty sure that this script doesn't handle quoted strings in any way, and would promptly mangle a title that contains a semicolon.

I heard that the bathhouse directly mirrors establishments that doubled as brothels—specifically in Japanese cultural details that aren't decipherable by an average Westerner or even an average weeaboo. Of course, as a Westerner I have

Are you telling me that awk can correctly identify delimiters inside quoted strings? Escaped quotes inside quoted strings? Newlines inside quoted strings? I.e. that awk actually has a csv parser? Very cool if so.

Any experienced programmer learns to not use string processing on structured data, because that will bite them in the ass. Meanwhile HN luddites: let me use awk, cut and whatnot despite the existence of an util that explicitly sidesteps t

I think the guy was saying that you have to surround an expression with ‘log()’ to get the logarithm—which is inconvenient when it's a result of previous calculations and you have to shuffle the cursor around. Can't just slap ‘log

You can just select and copy, and then paste. The whole expression is editable as a line of text.

So the text at that point literally talks about ‘many-eyes seraphims’. The eyes symbol is a pure gag—seems to be spliced in place of the letter ‘о’ in the word ‘eye’ just a little down the line. (However, Old Slavonic is a tough read due t

Android's calculator also has the history, invoked by pulling down on the display part. (Perhaps obvious to everybody here, but after the discussion on how the memory function is unclear to people, I'm not so sure.) Also that hist

Idk what you can do with streaming services, but old-school VLC users can dodge „whisper and explosions“ by turning dynamic compression to the max. In theory one can use systemwide in-line effects with something like AU Lab to the same end,

Well, I haven't been a tester, much less in a desktop app or a game company, but I'm vaguely confident that a tester's job is to raise hell, and this sure deserves it. As a ‘senior dev’ I've killed some sponsored , mone

I'm baffled as to why in all these years no one just changed them into a pair of diagonally-separated buttons, and increased the width a bit. This would look a little awkward in the world of rectangular everything, but eh. The whole sh

The worst number input that I've seen is some Windows input, in which the value must always be valid and in the allowed range. So, say, the current value is ‘300’ and you want ‘100’—but you can't backspace over the ‘3’ and enter ‘

P.S. Forgot to mention that cities full of cars are unpleasant to see and hear, and to navigate for pedestrians. Replacing human-driven cars with self-driving cars does nothing for this, just like it doesn't address the emissions probl

Also: > Buy the grippiest tires you can afford to run Even race cars running on slicks and weighing 700 kg get better braking by avoiding lockups and using the pads instead. So unless your pads are trash, you better get a proper ABS in

Yeah, afaik HFT folks also disable GC and just restart the app, or even the machine, at the end of the day. Java game devs are also fond of object pools, to my knowledge: they do as much allocation as possible at the start of a game level,

I'm gonna bet that vast majority of enterprise Java apps aren't so sensitive to performance. What they have is tons of business-specific logic leading to different code paths. Accumulated business logic can be quite a heavy beast,

Where does vehicle mass come into play when cars have ABS and thus it's always the brake pads stopping the car, not the tires?
